Custom Dashboards (Beta)

Combine metrics from multiple sources into a unified view

Custom Dashboards are available to customers in the beta program.

Custom Dashboards make it easy to create shared views of the key engineering metrics that matter most to your organization. They allow you to:

• Aggregate and display multiple metrics: Combine different saved report modules into a single dashboard.

• Personalize views: Create dashboards tailored to specific teams or use cases, enabling focused monitoring.

  • For example, you might want to track specific incident response metrics or you oculd create a comprehensive view of delivery by combining metrics across deployment, version control, and project management systems.

• Share insights: Share dashboards within your organization, ensuring your stakeholders have access to relevant information without manual reporting.

• Drive action: By surfacing the trends that matter to you, dashboards help you identify bottlenecks, track progress toward goals, and make data-driven decisions.

Custom Dashboard examples

See examples of Custom Dashboards below:

Delivery Health Dashboard

Create a dashboard for visibility into how work is flowing across teams. Combine deployment frequency with Jira-based metrics like work items completed, story points delivered, and cycle time to measure delivery throughput and identify bottlenecks.

Incident Response Dashboard

Create a dashboard to measure the effectiveness of your incident response process. Monitor time to resolution and incident frequency, while correlating with contributing factors such as deployment frequency and PR size to uncover root causes.

Reliability Dashboard

Create a dashboard to track the health of your services beyond MTTR. Monitor resolution time, incident frequency, change failure rate, and rollback frequency to understand trends of stability and resilience in your systems.
